What is 3D Printing? • The translation of digital
information into a physical object.

Operation Theory
• 3D printing is also known as additive manufacturing and rapid prototyping.
• 3D printers build objects by adding material layer by layer.
• 3D printers differ from traditional CNC machines that subtract a substance from a starting block of raw material.

Overview of 3D Printing • There are 3 common 3D printing techniques:
1) Binder Jet Printing (powder particles are bound or fused together)
2) Stereolithography (liquid resin is hardened by a laser beam or light)
3) Fused Filament Fabrication (plastic filament string is melted and deposited)

Fused Filament Fabrication
• A spool of filament (typically plastic) is fed into a hot metal tip.
• Computer controls direct the hot metal tip to extrude and deposit melted filament onto a print bed.
• Additional melted filament is deposited and adheres to the preceding layers and an object is formed layer by layer.

3D Printing is Nothing Special
• Making plastic widgets via Fused Filament Fabrication is very similar to making plastic widgets with plastic injection molding.

Nothing New… • Binder Jet RF Housholder
1979. Commercialized by Dr. Carl Deckard & Dr. Joseph Beaman in the 1980’s.
• STL Alain Le Mehaute 1986. Chuck Hull commercialized it in 1986.
• FFF Scott Crump invented in 1988.

Why All the Recent Attention?
• 2 companies, Stratasys and 3D Systems, bought 3 patents for 3D printing techniques.
• Patents began to expire in 2014 (25 years after creation).
• Reprap and open source improvement of printers
• “Maker” movement utilizes open source technology & inexpensive microcontrollers like Arduinos & Raspberry Pi to spur innovation.

Why Do you want a 3D Printer?
-Is your end goal to create a usable product? -Will it mostly be used for rapid prototyping? -What sort of detail will you need? -What material fits your needs? Is the material cost effective? -What size objects will you produce?

Creating 3D Printed Learning Tools
• The proposed 3D printed objects for our non-technical courses, Calculus and Physics, could either be found in a CAD library online
• OR parametrically modeled by students in our drafting classes
![Page 34: Learning Biology Through 3D Printing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051717/58a2ff551a28ab4c028bb148/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Traditional 3D MODEL CAD Libraries • Makerbot’s Thingiverse • AUTODESK 3D Model Library • GrabCAD • Shapeways • SketchFAB • SketchUp 3D WAREHOUSE • Turbosquid • Yeggi
![Page 35: Learning Biology Through 3D Printing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051717/58a2ff551a28ab4c028bb148/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
BIO 168 Project Parameters • Idea: reproduce plastic anatomy models • 3D printed models would complement existing
learning tools: computer 3D model viewer, bone models in the classroom, & textbooks • Students are tested on real bones in class so
there was a digital to tactile disconnect
![Page 36: Learning Biology Through 3D Printing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051717/58a2ff551a28ab4c028bb148/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Labeling Activity • Areas students consistently
struggled: 1) saggital (cross-section) view of skull 2) hand bones 3) feet bones • You’ll find our 3D printed labeling
activity and paint pens at your seats • Share and use the same color with
different patterns for several bones
![Page 37: Learning Biology Through 3D Printing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051717/58a2ff551a28ab4c028bb148/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Issues With printing Anatomy Bones • Non-technical class so we looked for anatomy
models in online libraries • Models requested by instructors either didn’t exist,
were too detailed or were not detailed enough

Why No Free Models Online? • New technology (low cost 3D printers are only a few years old) • Animation and medical modeling is very time intensive skilled
work. Modelers don’t want to give away their work for free • There are CAD files for creating the plastic molds (negatives)
for models you can buy from traditional companies • Once the file is shared online, there’s no going back
![Page 46: Learning Biology Through 3D Printing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051717/58a2ff551a28ab4c028bb148/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Parametric Modeling vs Mesh Modeling
• 3D printers work best for items that are designed in a parametric 3D modeling program
• I.e. Solidworks, AutoCAD, SketchUp, Inventor, Fusion360 etc.
• The designer chooses the shape, angle, dimensions, and thickness of the object
![Page 47: Learning Biology Through 3D Printing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051717/58a2ff551a28ab4c028bb148/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
• 3D printers handle parametric models well because human design is typically based on simple geometry at the human scale
• 3D printers translate printed information on an X, Y, Z coordinate plane system
• Mesh models represent organic shapes more accurately but are hander to physically realize
Parametric Modeling vs Mesh Modeling
![Page 48: Learning Biology Through 3D Printing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051717/58a2ff551a28ab4c028bb148/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Generating Mesh File Data • Since Mesh is just connected polygons (triangles
or “T” splines) there are no guiding parameters • Mesh model detail depends on quality of scanner • Higher quality scanner=more polygons in mesh
![Page 49: Learning Biology Through 3D Printing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051717/58a2ff551a28ab4c028bb148/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Mesh Models were Too Detailed • 3D Medical scanners, like MRI and CT machines
scan everything: bumps, holes, imperfections, even marrow inside of the bones.
• We just need a representative model of the exterior “shell”
![Page 50: Learning Biology Through 3D Printing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051717/58a2ff551a28ab4c028bb148/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Necessary Model Specifics • Bones must be connected to each other • Need to still show the detail of the bon edges to see
how and where they connect Thingiverse Trial 30% scale model Final Morphosource 100% scale model
![Page 51: Learning Biology Through 3D Printing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051717/58a2ff551a28ab4c028bb148/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

Learning Limitations of Our 3D Printers
• Bowden tube vs direct drive mechanisms • Our F306 3D printers have a long Bowden
tube and experience a great amount of retraction
![Page 53: Learning Biology Through 3D Printing](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051717/58a2ff551a28ab4c028bb148/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

Starting to Get Success • Printed on Makerbot’s direct drive (no Bowden tube) • Printed a prepared & hollowed out anatomy file • Filament supplier was a new company with bad
manufacturing quality control • Sent it back because of inconsistent diameter

In 12 months filament degrades due to UV exposure and moisture
absorption and becomes unusable

More Printer Limitations • Makerbot’s axes are driven by stiff rubber belts
not kevlar string • Belts can only move linearly • Wrapped kevlar stretches and moves out of line

Printing Considerations
• Finding high quality detailed files • Bones that were connected • Hollowed out interior and simplified exterior • Type of printer (bowden vs direct drive) • Axes controlled by kevlar vs rubber belt • Filament quality • Deleted unnecessary extra information (carpals
and tarsals) to save time, filament and complexity
